Meeting Someone Great

Shun was out of his home looking for places to visit and things to do on his outing with Satsuki.

Tokyo was diverse in culture, and Shun was sure that he would be able to find fun activities.

Shun left his home and saw a movers and shifters vehicle in front of an empty house.

Shun: "Hmm? Is someone moving in? I wonder who it is?"

Shun passed the house, and when he reached the end of the street, he felt that someone was watching him, so he turned to look, but he couldn't find anyone.

Shun: "Was it my imagination?"

Shun walked away, seeing that no one was there.

After Shun left, something moved in the street.

-*-*-*-

Shun exited a bookstore that he heard had quite a diverse selection of books.

He had seen the huge bookshelf in Satsuki's room, so he thought that they should swing by a good bookstore to introduce it to Satsuki.

The result of Shun's inspection of the bookstore?

Shun: "This bookstore is really diverse in its book collection. It is good that I found it. They had so many books that looked so interesting."

Shun exited the bookstore to see a bookstore employee signing for a new shipment of books and the delivery person unloading stacks of books from a trailer.

Shun looked at the stack of a manga series and said to himself.

Shun: "Ah, I should buy this week's Jump."

Shun turned back and entered the bookstore to buy the magazine.

What Shun didn't saw was someone observing him as he entered the bookstore. The observer moved just as Shun came out of the store after buying the magazine.

-*-*-*-

Shun exited a restaurant after asking them for their services and prices. He had a quick bite to eat to check the quality of food.

He sighed as he exited the restaurant.

Shun: "The food was so good, and I wasn't expecting them to offer a picnic basket service, but too bad, it is too hot for eating outside."

Shun was surprised when he heard that the restaurant had a service where they would prepare a picnic basket to take out, with the basket and the customer just had to pay for the food and a deposit for the actual basket and utensils, which they could get back after returning them.

Shun thought the picnic idea was brilliant, and the restaurant owners were genius to think of such service.

Shun wanted to book a basket, but alas, the weather was just too hot to eat outside.

Shun: "Maybe some other time, but at least we now have a place to eat."

Shun walked past the restaurant building, and his eyes caught a restaurant employee that he had seen inside receiving fresh ingredients in the alley between two buildings.

He heard them talk.

Employee: "Okay, the ingredients are according to our order, here you go, this is the order for tomorrow."

The vendor put down the last crate of ingredients from the back of his truck and received the order for the next day.

Vendor: "Alright, I will get these for tomorrow."

The employee nodded and asked.

Employee: "By what time would you arrive?"

The vendor thought for a moment and replied.

Vendor: "Around the same time as today."

Shun walked past the alley entrance and thought.

Shun: "Fresh ingredient every day, that is a huge plus point."

Shun decided that he would come here on the day of the date.

The observer continued to watch Shun as he walked past the alley.

-*-*-*-

Shun exited an ice cream parlor with a double scoop of mint chocolate chip.

Shun: "Man, ice cream is so good on a hot day."

Shun eat his ice-cream as he looked back at the ice-cream building.

Shun: "Plus, I have coupons for this place, so it is double-win."

Shun added visiting the ice-cream parlor to his list of things to do and walked as he ate his ice-cream.

He arrived at the road crossing. Shun waited for the light to turn so that he could cross the road, then he saw an advertisement at the side of a cargo truck.

The advertisement was for a Karaoke, seeing that Shun thought.

Shun: 'Maybe I should take her to a Karaoke, or should we go to a movie.'

Shun thought between his options before deciding.

Shun: "I should just ask her. Let's go check what movies are up on that day."

Shun walked towards the nearest Cinema to see what they were showing.

As Shun walked, he once again felt that someone was watching, so he turned back, but he just saw the traffic of vehicles in which he saw the Karaoke advertisement moving along.

Shun sighed as he once again walked.

Shun: "The heat must be getting to me."

-*-*-*-

The day passed, and the sun was already setting, and an orange hue covered the sky.

Shun was looking at his phone on which he had made a list of activities that he had checked out.

Shun: "Now, I only need to pick a few of them for the date day."

Shun switched the bag which was full of groceries that he had bought for home from his left hand to his right hand.

He put his phone back in his pocket and walked towards his home, and when he was two streets away from his house, he heard.

*Honk! Honk!*

Shun immediately got to one side of the road to avoid the coming vehicle.

He turned to see what it was and saw that around fifteen meters away from him was a stationary white truck right in the middle of the road.

Shun frowned when he saw the truck wasn't moving. He saw that there was no driver inside the truck, and that made him frown even more.

Shun: "Where did the driver go?"

But, then Shun's breathing hitched when he noticed the bumper stickers on the front of the truck.

「I 🖤 ISEKAI」

「Let's Hug」

「ISEKAI Delivery Service」

「Human Lives Can End In An Instant」

「STRONGEST ISEKAI PROTAGONIST」

「Truck-Kun In The Area」

Just when Shun read the last sticker, he saw the headlights of the truck come to life and the engine of the truck revving up.

Shun started to shake, he gulped, and some words escaped his mouth.

Shun: "T-Truck-kun?"

To his horror, he heard.

*Honk*

Shun started to sweat, and he took a deep breath when he remembered the feeling of someone watching him.

He remembered the mover-and-shifter truck he saw in front of the empty house.

He remembered the truck that had the book shipment for the bookstore.

He remembered the truck of the ingredient vendor in the alley beside the restaurant.

He remembered the truck which had the advertisement for the Karaoke.

Shun gulped as he asked.

Shun: "You were the one who was watching me."

*Honk*

Shun felt his throat dry up and a bead of sweat that traveled down from the side of his face.

Shun: "Are you here for me?"

Shun didn't want to change worlds. He was completely happy with his life in the current world.

This time Truck-kun didn't honk but started to inch closer towards Shun.

Shun suddenly felt his ability to move his legs taken away from as he wasn't able to take a single step away from the side of the road.

Truck-kun arrived just beside Shun, the driver side window rolled down, and Shun could hear a song that he recognized.

It was 「Here For You」 by Kygo.

A sheet of paper suddenly flew out of the truck, and suddenly Shun found that he was able to move his hands.

He dropped the grocery bag and caught the sheet of paper.

「You were my next target, but then I received the information that you were already Isekai'd, so I had to take you off my Hit-List.

I still decided to follow you to see if you weren't happy in this world and wanted a new start.

But it seems that you are happy.

So, unfortunately, we won't get to hug.

Kageyama Shun, I wish you a happy life.

May the Trucks be with you.」

The windows rolled up, and Truck-kun drove away.

Shun saw the one huge bumper sticker behind Truck-kun.

「There Is No Not-Today For Truck-kun.」

Shun felt his ability to move his legs return to him, and he couldn't help but lean against the wall and take in deep breaths to calm himself down.

Shun: "Oh my god!

What in the world was that!

I can't believe that I met Truck-kun."

Shun stayed there for a few minutes before continuing home.

-*-*-*-

Later that day, when Shun's parents returned home, he hugged them tightly and said, 'I Love You' to both of them.

And, thus ended a crazy day in the life of Kageyama Shun.

Here we go.

I had this idea, that I thought would be great for a Slice-Of-Life chapter, so I wrote it.

-*-*-*-

TRUCK-KUN appears.

I was really proud of myself when I wrote this chapter.

I once read a chapter in a story that I can't remember in which the MC tries to run from Truck-kun, and it turns to an epic chase.
